What's Your Guilty Pleasure?

TheTyee.ca
Wednesday night is cleaning night at my house. It has to be this way, because otherwise I will live in squalor until the health department comes in. I don't like to clean. And so I dance. With my broom. Like the Swiffer ads, but, I hope, less soccer mum-y. I am not proud. But I am also not knee-deep in my own filth. It's a compromise I've learned to live with.

alright! alright! I confess I secretly listens to the bee gees every so often 8O

Spike Jones is not a guilty pleasure

"most any afternoon at five...."

My musical guilty pleasure is "a little gasoline" by terri clark.

Did you know that "Daydream Believer" was written by John Stewart (of the Kingston Trio)?

No, that I didn't know. I did know that Neil Diamond wrote 'I'm a Believer' (well, I think that's right), and I know for a fact that I thought Mike Nesmith was awfully cute. That was a long time ago, but then, when you're old as dirt everything seems a long time ago. I still listen to the songs, from time to time, and I still (oh god) like them rather more than I should be admitting on a public forum for all the world to read (and snicker).

You mean you weren't taken with Davy Jones? I find that surprising... 8O

Ha, I didn't need to be, one of the guys in our gang was a dead ringer for Jones, right down to the height and the British accent, :cool: and my brother's best friend was a total ringer for Mike Nesmith.

Davy Jones definitely made most girls swoon the most, though.

TenPenny, I recall something about that, about Nesmith's behind-the-scenes work in music, but I didn't know that he was the heir to a liquid paper fortune. Why, that's almost like inventing Post-It notes (Romy & Michele's High School Reunion fans will know about Post-It notes).

Another guilty secret: I still think the Monkee's TV show was a really good one. An even dirtier secret: I could happily own the $100+ set of all episodes. :cool:

RE: confess your guilty p

Missile, I'm with you ... I LOVE Disco! Brings back images of heels and hats and making my poor husband (yes, had one then) wear a three piece suit to the club.

I'm also a close Chicago fan. Ok, that one embarasses a little!

ABBA and Boney M!

Yeah!! That's what I'm talkin about.

There lived a certain man in Russia long ago
He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow
Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear
He could preach the bible like a preacher
Full of ecstacy and fire
But he also was the kind of teacher
Women would desire

RAH! RAH! RASPUTIN!
Lover of the Russian queen
There was a cat that really was gone
RAH! RAH! RASPUTIN!
Russia's greatest love machine
It was a shame how he carried on


:D :D :D

Haha....such stunning lyricists. Cat!!! I gotta resurrect that term and work it into my everyday vernacular.

Later, cats! :lol:

Bad girls
Talking about the sad girls
Sad girls
Talking About bad girls, yeah

See them out on the street at night, walkin'
Picking up on all kinds of strangers
If the price is right
You can't score if you're pocket's tight
But you want a good time

You ask yourself who they are
Like everybody else, they come from near and far

Bad girls
Talking about the sad girls
Sad girls
Talking About bad girls, yeah

Woot Woot!
